I mentioned last time that my husband and I were rewatching old Star Trek episodes? We're most of the way through the final season of TOS, and there are two things I wanted to note. First, and BotP related - Keye Luke shows up as Governor Donald Cory in 'Whom Gods Destroy'. I didn't recognise his face, but all through the episode, I was thinking 'gee, I know that voice.' Second, and non-BotP related - is 'Let That Be Your Last Battlefield' as much self-righteousness as can be jammed into one episode? Yeesh. You know, looking back, I think 'Battlefield' was the first ever Star Trek episode I ever saw; on rewatching it now, I kind of wonder why I ever watched any more.... Not one of Trek's best, no. For that honour, I'd nominate 'The Trouble With Tribbles', 'The Empath', 'The Naked Time' (despite the stupid plot moment that requires a crew member in an environment suit to take off a glove for no good reason), and 'City on the Edge of Forever' (no matter what Harlan Ellison reckons).
